I'm behind on everything. I've been busy working on the revision for The Edge of Worlds, plus my husband's been sick with a bad cough and off and on fever. All I've made time for is revisioning and laundry. I am looking forward to new Doctor Who this weekend.

I answered this question on tumblr, and wanted to copy it here:

punkranger asked: Do you use music for inspiration? If so what do you listen to? :) Also, have you heard of Ayreon? They do a lot of sci-fi/fantasy-inspired music and all their albums are very intricate stories.

I do, and it’s kind of a weird mix. Here’s one of my playlists for the Raksura books (don’t judge me).

I add songs whenever I hear something that just strikes a chord. I haven’t heard of Ayreon, but they sound cool. I’ll have to check them out.
